We stayed in cottage #5, the Hideaway. It was incredibly clean, well maintained, had plenty of extra items if we needed them, and the property was very centrally located to anything we may have needed on the Island.
Pros:
Close to the beach access
Clean
Outdoor areas
Bikes
Washer and dryer
Comfortable furnishings
Pretty decent cooking set up
Cons:
Did not respond to any of our service requests
Gas grill no propane
Outdoor area poorly maintained
Bikes all had flat tires
Outdoor lights don't work
Broom, no dust pan
Charming cottage with all amenities for a longer stay (full kitchen). Quiet, clean and obviously updated with no evidence of the hurricane damage from last year. Will stay here again when we return to Sanibel.
Our room #3) was amazingly clean. We had everything we needed (except some hangers in the closet) for visiting the beach; towels, chairs) and a wagon to transport them. The king bed was comfortable. Location is key, only a 5-minute walk to the beach. I felt safe here and we will hopefully be back for a 3 time next year

It was great to be back to stay in Sanibel. We felt lucky to get an apartment at Palm View with our last minute reservation!!
We had a great time here! Very clean, comfortable, peaceful and has everything you need for a beach vacation. The maintenance team was also very helpful and available for all of our queries. We will be back!
A quaint and quiet place! The bicycles were perfect too. Close to the beach and close to restaurants.

Great value and close to the beach. Area is being rebuilt due to the storm. The inn is more like an Airbnb and parking is limited. the staff is very responsible
We enjoyed our stay and the proximity to the beach, which was just a few blocks walk. We appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella that were provided as well. Close to a lot of good restaurants too- we chose to drive, but you could have walked to some of them.
Extra amenities were available upon request. Housekeeping is available upon request. Check in was easy and information about The Palmview Inn and Sanibel were available. We were within walking distance to the beach and a convenience shop. Traffic is not busy at this stay. It feels very private as it is a cottage with outside sitting and gathering. Washer and dryer is available and accessible. We loved our stay.
Very beautiful close to the beach good bicycles very clean and very comfortable amazing ac love the remodel. Amazing customer service they went out of there way to accommodate even on a holiday definitely will be back
